Hello friends of hive I bring you an uncommon walk, yes uncommon, most human beings only attend the cemetery to the pain of the loss of a human being. But in this case I made this walk and I call it a walk because I went with the greatest pleasure to learn a little more about our Necropolis of Colon and its majestic works of architecture that it possesses.
Like all good Cubans we know that thanks to its care and its masterpieces, it has been declared a National Monument for many years, with a construction of 1876 named after Christopher Columbus, being the most important cemetery in the country for its monuments and mausoleums.
I am particularly struck by his sculptures, the detail of the great monuments where you can observe even the smallest details of the construction, from a leaf to the carving of a human being that reflects in his face his emotional state.
For its extension it is divided into North South, East, and West, being the north the main entrance, which allowed me a better location of the area through which I was passing. Its virtuous columns at the entrance with neo-Romanesque styles attracted my attention, but we all know that the cemetery also tells us a story.
For example, the tomb of Amelia Goire, a woman who died in childbirth and it has been a tradition to visit her tomb when she asked to become pregnant or in gratitude, known by Cubans as the miraculous, the monument to the firemen, etc. However, the images are dissimilar, monuments that are not popular but that does not mean they are not beautiful and unique.
Our cemetery houses endless beauty for the great details in their sculptures especially in the use of a sea of marble and fine ironwork of incalculable value that are part of our culture and history because in them we have great personalities.
I could not help but want to catch every image in my path, its silence with only the whisper of some trees that offer their shade not only for the traveler but also for the one who lies at their feet, refreshes me and I begin once again to appreciate art, especially the art of life.
We see each flower bouquet carved with great delicacy and the scriptures, there we also see our great adas, our angelic children also give us peace of mind, I think we should all take this walk because it is the only way in life we can know our final destiny.
